Chapter 355: Pick the cheapest destruction!
"I have had some contact with Lu Xu." Qin Zhengxu's thoughts drifted back to the past. "When I first met this kid, I thought he was very smart, had a certain amount of talent, was well-educated and well-mannered. In fact, I thought about taking him in as my apprentice."
So he had thought about accepting a disciple? Su Mei asked hurriedly, "Then why didn't you accept one later?"
"He had only been in contact with me for a short time, and he soon expressed his intention to become my disciple. I was still young at the time, and I planned to observe for a few more years and test myself before making a decision.
So I pretended to refuse him, wanting to test his honesty... This test was extraordinary, for his grandfather came to me directly and said that his grandson wanted to become my disciple, and it was my honor.
The old man of the Lu family told me not to be so ignorant... I am a person who can only be dealt with softly and not hard. If they want to force me, I will not give in to their wishes."
"So there is such a person." Su Mei was full of emotion, "So it was actually his grandfather who ruined his chance to become your disciple. Originally, he had the hope of learning from you."
"You can say that!" Qin Zhengting nodded.
That's really fate. Su Mei said again: "Lu Xu is quite strange. He was able to enter the research institute when he was over 30 years old. Didn't the research institute have a recommendation system a few years ago? His father didn't even recommend him.
He is already 30 years old, but he is still working as an assistant. What is even more strange is that his father asked him to find a way to steal the password of my laboratory, but he actually asked me to exchange it directly and told me that this was his father's task. "
"It is very strange. Anyway, the minds of these children from aristocratic families are not simple. You must not take these gestures of goodwill lightly. You never know what bad things they are planning behind the scenes." Qin Zhengting was afraid that Su Mei would underestimate the enemy, so he reminded her worriedly.
Su Mei did not underestimate her enemy. She just thought that everything Lu Xu did was strange.
Unfortunately, I can’t get any answers from Qin Zhengting.
Qin Zhengting has been away from Yanjing for many years. He knows no more about the current situation in Yanjing than Su Mei.
It doesn’t matter if she didn’t get any useful information. Su Mei’s main purpose of this trip was to say hello to her master.
She enjoys talking to old people; such conversations remind her of her grandfather.
Grandpa will definitely be disappointed if she doesn't go back this summer.
The master and the apprentice talked for a long time until Dai Yin came over and called them to eat. Su Mei went to the laboratory and called Chu Tian out as well.
At the dinner table, Dai Yin told Qin Zhengting that Qin Fang had an aunt who wanted to introduce a girl to Qin Fang. Su Mei then suddenly remembered the story of Qin Fang and Mu Lan.
"Master, Master's Wife, don't you know that our senior brother has a girl in a relationship?" Su Mei asked.
Qin Zhengting and Dai Yin were both stunned for a moment, and then Dai Yin immediately smiled and asked, "Really? Really? Didn't you hear this idiot say that? Where is this girl? When have you met her before?"
"The girl named Mu Lan whom I mentioned to my master and his wife last time, is from the frontier. She is very beautiful, and her every move has an exotic touch. She is also a good student, and has a good family background, but..." If you ignore Mu Lan's personality, Su Mei feels that this girl is very suitable as a partner.
But Dai Yin obviously still remembered the name, she took over Su Mei's words and said: "It's just that his character is not very good.
Last time you told me about this girl's glorious deeds, I told your senior brother. Your senior brother said that he didn't have any contact with that girl. It turns out that he was playing a trick on me. How did you find out that they still had contact?"
"Because it's not a sneak attack on Chen Cang. If Master and his wife had just taken a look when Brother was out, they would have discovered the clues.
When I came here at noon, I saw Mulan waiting for her senior brother at the entrance of the alley. Her senior brother was grinning at her from a distance, baring his two front teeth. I think he was in love!"
"Is it that exaggerated?" Dai Yin glanced at Su Mei nervously, "He has never broken his promise to me, how could he do something like this this time?"
"It's not an exaggeration at all. Master's wife, you have never seen this girl. When I saw her for the first time, I was stunned. She really has a face that makes me feel pity and makes me want to protect her.
She looked very deceptive, and the senior brother probably had not seen her true nature with his own eyes, so he could not believe that she was of bad character.
Master and his wife should try to intervene in this matter, so that they don’t get too deeply involved and suffer irreparable emotional trauma the first time they find a partner.”
"I'll talk to him when he comes back." Qin Zhengting said, and took a big gulp of wine.
After hearing what her master said, Su Mei did not continue talking about Qin Fang. After all, she had repeatedly warned her master and his wife that it was something that the old couple had to do themselves.
If she, an outsider, interferes too much, it will only hurt the relationship between the brothers and sisters.
After dinner, Su Mei went home.
Because she had already eaten at her master's house, Su Mei didn't plan to cook in the evening.
Huo Jianguo was left alone, so he went out and found a small canteen to eat with his wife and children.
Soon when Huo Jianguo came back, she closed the door and went out for a walk with Huo Jianguo.
After a day of leisure, Su Mei had no excuse the next day and had to get up early and go to work.
But she turned back before reaching the research institute.
Because the people at the post office stopped Su Mei and said that her surveillance equipment had arrived at the customs and she needed to bring her ID and sign for it in person.
When she arrived at the customs, Su Mei found that Country M had given her three surveillance cameras.
Those surveillance cameras are bulky and look like antiques from the past.
The customs personnel conducted a detailed inspection of the equipment and only allowed Su Mei to take the surveillance camera away after confirming that everything was normal.
However, Su Mei only took away one.
One piece of monitoring equipment was seized by customs, and another was taken away by the research institute.
This was also within Su Mei's expectations. She wanted three devices because she knew that if there was only one, she probably wouldn't be able to move it all away.
The equipment was requested from Country M in the name of the country, so it is only natural for the country to take some of it.
Let the people in the research institutes study surveillance carefully and implement it as soon as possible, which will also be beneficial to national development.
Although she had monitored it, Su Mei was puzzled as to how such a bulky device could be installed in her own laboratory without anyone noticing.
After thinking for a long time, Su Mei still couldn't come up with any good ideas.
She could only transport the monitoring equipment home and ride her bike to the research institute to ask Lou Shanchuan for advice.
Lou Shanchuan looked quite elegant, but the solution he offered was simple and crude: "You deliberately damaged a piece of equipment, and I will arrange for someone to repair it and install the monitoring equipment for you at the same time.
Don't spoil anything too expensive, you'll have to pay for the loss yourself later.
But is that thing really that magical? If you install it there, it can record what the people inside are doing, just like playing a movie?"
"Really? If I damage the equipment, and you send someone in to install surveillance, can you ask the installer to keep it a secret?" This matter cannot be leaked at all, otherwise there would be no point in installing surveillance.
"Don't worry, we're looking for trustworthy people, and they'll sign a very strict confidentiality agreement." At the end, Lou Shanchuan added:
"Pick the cheapest equipment to destroy!"
